Calgary police remove thin blue line decal from front of district office

, Calgary police said it would be 'almost impossible' to find out who had placed the symbol and when, 'as dozens of members share those vehicles'.

When asked if there was someone specifically responsible for what is displayed on or within the office, a spokesperson for CPS wrote that they "don't think one person has that responsibility – more of a collective effort and district dependent."The symbol is defended by its advocates as a token to honour fallen members and express support for those who serve.

"The thin blue line has its origins in extraordinarily racist actions by police officers in the United States in the 1960s," explained King. At the District 5 office, a piece of blue ribbon is wrapped around the door handle of their front entry.
